This initiative focuses on enhancing support for over 4,250 children, particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), who rely on various transport options. The contract, awarded on 5th April 2019, commenced on 19th March 2019 and is set to last for a maximum of 60 days. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, and parties interested in this opportunity needed to submit their responses by 1st March 2019, while expressing interest had to be registered by 27th February 2019. The execution location is Birmingham, West Midlands, with the relevant classification falling under support services for road transport. This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport consultancy, including those with expertise in SEND-related services. Companies that focus on sustainable transport solutions, research and development consultancy, as well as those providing technical analysis or consultancy services, will be well-suited to compete. Participating in this procurement can allow businesses to contribute to improving transport services for vulnerable children, potentially leading to further collaborations with local authorities and enhancing their market presence. ## Notice Birmingham City Council (the Council) wishes to invite potential suppliers to submit tenders for provision of a subject matter expert in relation to home to schools transport. The Home to Schools service provides a variety of transport options to over 4,250 children on a daily basis, with an additional 1,500 receiving bus passes. The majority of the children using the service have requirements related to SEND but the service also supports looked after children; children in temporary accommodation and other vulnerable groups. The service operates more than 590 routes and has a range of support options including: 1-to-1's; mini bus/coach transport; Travel Guides; personal transport budgets; bus passes and independent travel training. Our challenge is to achieve appropriate home to school transport provision at a time of reduced funding. We are seeking subject matter expertise on the transport requirement together with children's SEND sector knowledge specialising in alternative, sustainable methods of transport. Refer to the tender documentation for a full brief. The proposed duration of the contract is for a maximum of 60 days, commencing 19th March 2019.
